Pls help me....

wat is english minimum requirement to enter MBBS??
the english requirement is MUET or foundation english?

hi all, been to this thread a couple of times and guess will be here a lot more often..

i received a call from AIMST yesterday saying that I've been accepted into their MBBS program and thus will be received my offer letter somewhere next week, seems they're posting it out today or tomorrow.. I'm an STPM student and unfortunately, failed to get a place in local universities..

anyway, PTPTN is a guaranteed thing rite? as in u'll get the 150k? are they any more sources that i can take a loan? do AIMST offer scholarship like Dean's list or something like that? cause I heard some medicine unis like Monash offer partial scholarship while UCSI offers Dean and Presidential award. So does AIMST have the same thing?

reading all the comments above, i figure AIMST is located in an out of town place?? are there any nearby convenient stores to purchase stuff or even mamak stalls?? =p

and the rooms is quad share rite? are the rooms big enough to put in 4 people or will there be a squeeze??

sorry for asking so many questions but i'm just excited to get a place..

Guys, im coming to AIMST to do my foundation in science.... ques time!!

1. will i have to wear formal for all my classes?
2. where my classes will b held? at semeling or amanjaya campus?
3. how long to get to the nearest airport frm aimst?

tekiu2

isnt there any airport in alor setar?

i still havent got the offer letter which is confirmed by d admin ppl... hope they stick to their words!! =T

I'm from KL. Transport? Is there any kind of transport provided by uni to get out of the campus to d nearest central bus station???

Btw, during the foundation orientation, will there be any sports things? Cz, i'm kinda restricted from doing any sports activities for two months for some medical reasons.(Yea, it's sad.I didn't even play badminton for a whole month).. Btw,Just hoping the seniors would be understanding... they will right?

hi, jus wanna ask ques bout HOSTEL...     How they place the students in hostel?... izzit random or according to "race" or course?... i hope it's random...
r there many students bring their own car?...
N how's medical school orientation?... izzit similar to imu?
thanz a lot!!!!

the weekend at AIMST is fri and sat or sat and sun?

Hmm.. If I study in AIMST, how do i get to town? Is there like a shuttle bus system or I have to call a taxi to come to AIMST n pick me up?

erm... wat is d prohibited items tat v can't bring 2 d hostel?... high voltage electrical items?... fridge?... hehe....

if u sneak them in, then it's still possible right?

just come, n learn from there on...nobody's gonna punish you for not buying books....
when you're here, you'll know what books to buy, and what not...boils down personal preference...
plus it's cheaper if you buy when you get here...buy in bulks, from kamal bookstore....

but just in case, you're still stubborn and still wanna buy...here's a quick list of what my friends usually use....

Oral Anatomy, Histology & Embryology (Berkovitz)
Oral Physiology (DB Ferguson) < Who also happens to give lectures on this subject...
Apllied Dental Materials (McCabe)
Permanent Prosthodontics (dunno)
Removable Partial Dentures (dunno)
Dental Therepeutics (dunno)
Oral Pathology (Soames)
Dental Public Health (dunno)

Periodontal Disease (dunno)
Handbook of Local Anesthesia (Malamed)
Oral Radiology: Principles & Interpretation (White)

Other books:

And many others which I haven't had the need to use, yet....like Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, Pediatric Dentistry etc...

SPM 4 credits can do foundation in science?

quota for jpa, stpm and A levels are around 20-40 percent of the Mbbs seats, but then again it depends on how well does the foundation students score well for their foundation year.

what i will suggest for those who got the good results, meaning at least a B+ in biology and B- in 2 other subjects can try to apply. if your grades can't meet the minimum requirement, u can't enter AIMST university.  same goes for the foundation programme here in aimst, as the students need to achieve a A in biology and 2 other B in other subjects to enter MBBS programme.

for those who want to apply, what i will suggest to u is that u guys submit your applications somewhere in may/june. then remember to keep on calling aimst to make sure that you are allocated the seats. the earlier u apply, the better chances of getting a seat in mbbs.

if u really intend to enroll into aimst university, what i will suggest is that u guys enter foundation also..  for term 1 fees is RM7380, including hostel charges, as the intake for mbbs programme is in august. as a precaution u enter foundation also, just in case u guys can't get the seats for mbbs programme.
